Abstract

The present invention relates to multiline fixed cellular systems in which a plurality of plain ordinary telephone service connections utilize a plurality of cellular terminals to conduct radio communication. In particular, the present invention discloses novel methods and systems of solving the paging problem in multiline fixed cellular systems. In the invention, a plurality of plain ordinary telephone service connections having an upper page range and a lower page range are connected with a fixed cellular switch. The fixed cellular switch is connected with a plurality of cellular terminals which are capable of conducting radio communication with a cellular network. A control unit is provided connected with the fixed cellular switch and the cellular terminals for switching an activated plain ordinary telephone service connection to an available cellular terminal when an incoming page falls within the upper page range and lower page range.
